Shotguns for CQB - what do you like?

jplebre said:
So the springers actually have a decent FPS and range?

I thought they'd be like the cheaper pistol springers that are not much use in a game.

(Note: I'm not an FPS buff, I just know that without enough force, people just won't feel/take their hits)

Trust me, unless they're playing as the Terminator they'll feel at least one of the three shots.
 
Niiiiice. Starting to change my opinion on springers then.

Then again, my own fault for generalising things, specially as a newbie

 
Yes they are about 280 fps although its hard to chrono a trishot.

Your link is the one Ive just bought.

 
The ASG and DE ones are all plastic (not amazing plastic either) however CYMA have come out with some trishots including the one in the link.

There's metal and plastic replicas in CYMA's new line of shotties. Despite being notorious as a Chinese clone gun manufacturer, the quality of their plastics is pretty good- my old CYMA MP5 felt a lot more expensive than how much it was worth

 
Looking at all these spring shotguns, they all seem to have fixed hops. Are there any that have adjustable hops? or is that only on the single shot ones?

That's a really good question. Are only the Marui that have adjustable hop?

How do you know which models are metal and which ones are plastic?

One thing that puzzles me about the Franchi from ASG is that there is a little spring loaded variable control on the lower slide that sits ahead of the pump action. It doesnt seem to have a function - is it just cosmetic ? not mentioned anywhere...

On the real steel weapon it controls the fire mode. On the airsoft ones it doesn't - I removed mine as it just got in the way.

They have fixed hop, when you cock it back the shell ejector port opens and where a hop adjuster would normally be found is the switch for the 3 and 6 shot modes. It's not an issue though as the spread means it's next to impossible to hit someone well before the BBs would need further assistance from a hop rubber.

I'm no expert but the only shotgun I know of with adjustable hop is the upcoming TM AA12. There could be others but I think it's largely pointless anyway as you get into the realms of using the wrong gun for the job if you want a long range gun.

I like the look of the small SAS12, M1100 revision or breacher.

Guess I'll have to find out a couple of hours to look into the ASG, CYMA and Maruzen offers (i think they only offer shell ejecting :(

I'm really liking the fact that you can get skirmishable shotguns for about £60 according to you guys.

Actually the ASG barrels are metal.

What parts are usually metal on real steel shotguns?

Maruzen also do a single shot 870 series. I had a CA870 and I absolutely loved it! Was very sturdy and was pretty much a CQB sniper.

Usually everything except the stock, pistol grip and pump- like most weapons. Any metal airsoft replica will usually have metal in all the places a real version would have it.

 
So when it was said that the ASG had only metal barrel, that's a long way from being RIF?

 
its still a RIF in its native black and you will need UKARA etc for a retailer to sell it to you.

 
An airsoft gun's status as a RIF has nothing to do with it's material. It's all about colouring.
